SANTA CLARA, Calif., Feb. 5, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- OmniVision Technologies, Inc., a leading developer of advanced digital imaging solutions, today announced at the MD&M West trade show a major expansion of its OVMed® medical image signal processor (ISP) family, designed to pair with its high-performance medical image sensors for quick integration into single-use and reusable endoscopes as well as catheters. Building on the success of OmniVision's versatile OVMed ISPs introduced in 2018, these five new processors provide device designers with even more flexibility, creating additional options for resolution, frame rate and output, along with the best-in-class feature set.

OmniVision's OVMed® medical image signal processor (ISP) family is designed to pair with its high-performance medical image sensors for quick integration into single-use and reusable endoscopes as well as catheters.

"By expanding our OVMed family to nine different ISPs, we are providing the industry's largest set of medical design options, catering to customers new to CMOS imaging as well as those wanting to speed development for their latest medical devices," said Tehzeeb Gunja, principal marketing and business development manager at OmniVision. "One size and price do not fit all; hence we offer a range of ISP solutions with differentiated size, price, feature set and outputs. We are now adding stereoscopic 3D imaging and the best-in-class, professional ISPs to our growing OVMed family, enabling innovative, state-of-the-art product concepts."

The OVMed product line includes three classes of ISPs:

Mini for the smallest and most cost-effective option to integrate into an endoscope handle

These features make the Pro line ideal for use in medical endoscopes for gastrointestinal and airway-management applications.

Two new ISPs (Mini and Pro) in the OVMed family offer dual-channel processing that supports 3D stereoscopic imaging. This feature allows an ISP to take input from two image sensors and process it in parallel, providing surgeons with the ability to perceive depth during surgical procedures. The result is improved patient outcomes and reduced risk for endoscopic surgery, as well as better diagnostic accuracy.

The table below lists the nine currently available OVMed products. All products will be medically certified to comply with IEC 60601 (ESD, EMC, EMI, patient isolation), IEC 62304 (software quality), and ISO 14971 (risk management). Additionally, all nine ISPs are compliant with REACH and RoHS, and are manufactured in facilities certified to the ISO 13485 and ISO 9001 standards.
